Huge £395k Investment for Bailey’s Court Inn Bristol

Bristol Bailey’s Court Inn is the next local Marston’s pub to undergo a major transformation,

Bristol’s Bailey’s Court Inn is closing temporarily as it prepares to relaunch under the new sports concept, Grandstand, with market-leading big screen technology, menus, and events.

The Bailey’s Court Inn in Bristol will close its doors on Monday 10th November to allow for an exciting refurbishment before reopening as a ‘Grandstand’ sports pub. This transformation represents a significant investment of over £396,700.

The much-loved community pub will be transformed with new features designed to deliver a stadium-style experience on every visit. The refurbishment will include the installation of market-leading technology, such as new 3-metre-long and 1.8-metre-tall screens, state-of-the-art sound systems, and flexible tiered seating to guarantee a good view of the action.

A refurbished outdoor area with TV screens will be added, and locals will be able to order through the all-new Marston’s ‘Order & Pay’ app to ensure they never miss a minute of the action. The pub will also have a brand-new pool table and an improved darts area.

The Bailey’s Court Inn will also be decorated with local sports memorabilia and is calling on the community to share photographs and items to help celebrate the achievements of local sports stars and teams, past and present.

General Manager, Chris Winston, said, “We’re so excited to show off the new and improved pub! With a calendar of sports up ahead, Bailey’s Court Inn will be the perfect destination to get involved in big event atmosphere and soak up the action, especially thanks to some amazing new technology, food and drink offers and events.”

Once reopened, the pub will show all key sporting fixtures, including football, rugby, cricket, tennis, F1, darts, horse racing, and more. Regulation dart boards and pool tables will return, alongside new competition leagues and free-to-play recreational sessions.

A new range of bar food will also be introduced, perfect for a half-time bite or to share with friends. The ‘Match Day Menu’ will feature hand-held bites, such as chicken wings and nachos, sitting alongside pub favourites such as fish and chips, burgers, and Sunday Roasts.

Local sports teams will be able to apply for a ‘Black Card’, giving them access to exclusive offers, endless chips on team nights, and rewards for celebrating wins at their local.

The Grandstand concept follows industry research* revealing that 8.5M consumers have watched sports games at the pub, with 86% of fans preferring sports pubs for their atmosphere, better screens and sound, and the chance to connect with friends and family.

Marston’s has selected The Bailey’s Court Inn for the Grandstand transformation due to its involvement with local sports teams, community groups, and charities. The refurbishment will create an exciting new proposition for local sports fans from Gloucestershire and beyond.

The pub will close on 10th November and is set to reopen on 3rd December with a brand-new look.
